i absolutely hated private trackers. i would seed and seed and seed and nobody ever downloaded anything from me so i could never actually use the site

they said 'seed popular stuff!' and i went down this rabbit hole of trying to automate seeding of like garbage pop albums and poo poo in 320 flac and just ended up filling up my hard drive with garbage that i deleted
i'm sure there's a way to effectively use them but i'm also pretty sure that way involves being a loving torrent piracy nerd staring at a computer monitor for four hours a day

the answer is porn. i seeded the most popular porn for like a week and was able to get invites wherever

aren't plasma screens still the best image you can get? it's just that oled and led screens are 'close enough' and substantially cheaper

What happened to the ESR is trash thread? I mean I know he's still trash, but what has he been up to lately?

I love that people saw a thing that cost a thousand bucks in a store, bought it "to see what would happen", and were then surprised when they ended up buying the thing for a thousand bucks from the store that was selling it.

no the best part was how the guy outright said in the description that the app did absolutely nothing and had no purpose besides conspicuous consumption. but then people got mad anyways and apple pulled it

i hope he got to keep the money at least

yeah I can't see myself upgrading for a long time from the 2 year old i5 9600 I have.

also yes I am that sucker that bought the poo poo Intel cpu just before AMD got good again

i'm still on a 7700 and the only time it shows its age is when steam manages to max out all cores decompressing whatever i'm downloading because i have a gigabit line

imagine if this kind of video game aesthetic had stuck and games like call of duty and battlefield played crazy plots with random scifi and hammy acting straight instead of whatever it is they're on about. such a beautiful world.

tf2 is the only modern game i can think of that leaned into this and man they leaned into it HARD

4tb jfc. I've got an old 64gb corsair ssd that was the first one I ever bought to use as a vista boot drive

it's on top of a stack of 3 hdds I should also do something with

the hd noise from my rig was starting to bug me so when a bunch of 870s went on sale i stocked up and transferred everything. now the only sound my rig makes is the fans which i plan on switching over to liquid eventually

I got many a friend free internet by setting up a WRT54G in bridge mode with a directional antenna and leeching off some open hotspot down the block before everything came locked down by default. I found out later my little cousin was doing a similar thing by bringing his laptop over to people’s apartments and WEP cracking the neighbor’s wireless for them.

i think i still have the bookmark for the wep cracker on an old device somewhere. those were the days
